Lately, phenomena
Sound horeg
become the spotlight in a number of areas, especially in East Java.
The process of the procession around the village with a high-empowered audio system not only triggered the pros and cons of aesthetics, but also caused concern from the side
health
, especially on
hearing
.
Sound horeg refers to the modified audio system in such a way as to produce a very loud and powerful sound.Usually, this system is transported using an open pickup vehicle and accompanied by music that is played loudly along the parade route.
The atmosphere was indeed lively.However, lurk risks cannot be underestimated.
Ear, nose, throat, head surgery, and neck specialist from Pondok Indah Bintaro Jaya Hospital, Ashadi Budi explained that sound horeg was very at risk of damaging hearing.
“Is that risk to damage hearing? Yes, means that our hearing loses with a loud and old voice,” Ashadi said in a media meeting in Jakarta, Tuesday (29/7).
According to Ashadi, loud sound exposure in a long duration are the two main factors that trigger damage to the hearing system.
“So, the louder the sound we listen to and the longer, will be at risk of damaging hearing. And make no mistake, the damage to the hearing can be permanent, so it is not the damage to hearing a few moments
Just
, “he said.
That is, hearing that is disturbed due to the exposure of sound horeg can not always return to normal.In many cases, it is a lifetime.
Although it could damage the hearing, Ashadi stressed that the loud sound of the sound horeg did not cause the eardrum to be torn.
“If it is torn [the eardrum],
anyway
, no, “he said.
Eardrum or tympanic membrane is a thin layer that functions to receive sound waves and forward it to the inside of the ear.If this layer experiences perforation or torn, then various symptoms will appear, such as:
– Decrease or loss of hearing,
– ringing ears (tinnitus),
– Fluid from the ear,
– sharp pain that appeared suddenly,
– Spinning sensation (vertigo),
– Dizzy,
– Nausea or vomiting due to vertigo.
Ashadi explained, holes in the eardrum are more often caused by chronic ear infections, direct injuries (trauma), or barotrauma, namely injury due to sudden changes in air pressure, for example when diving or boarding a plane.
“Tympanic membrane perforation can cause patients to experience hearing loss, the risk of recurrent infections, to interference in communication. These things will also affect the decline in the quality of life,” he explained.
